Friday but overshot the midnight mark

Today was officially the last day of school. Graduation is unavoidable. It still seems a bit hard to believe that I’m not going to spend next week in school having lessons as per normal.

The teachers put in a lot of effort in making personalised gifts for everyone, and tried to make the graduation a memorable one. I’m thankful the class com thought of giving everyone a big card each so we could bring back some final words.

I’ve learnt a lot, matured in thought and made great friends the past 4 years. All the obstacles I was put through (tests, competitions, leadership positions etc) and the friends I’ve made have shaped me in some way.

Going for class will come to an end (like really the end) by next, next Wednesday, but the lessons learnt, friendships forged and memories of sec school will live on.

After school, went to ACS(I) with Chan and Ebot (and some from other classes). I wasn’t originally intending to go, but since Ebot begged me, I went. Chan had been looking forward to it for more than a week. When we reached, she didn’t even dare to walk in front. Anyway, back to the point. We explored the booths and found out about the subjects offered. Then there was a long talk to explain how the IBDP worked. I was really tired and knocked off a bit halfway.

After listening, I became more convinced that IBDP was beyond me. I got quite intimidated by the papers those students had to write. I don’t like writing long essays, especially in words. It’ll probably be good for Ebot though.

But when I got home, mom told me that it could actually be advantageous to me if I choose higher level in math and science. But of course, can’t escape from the essays. However, it would be good training for university. Ah well, O levels first. Have to see if my results can even get me in. And now I’m undecided on which JC to aim for.
